To think that Teresa May's speech this evening was an absolute fucking disgrace?

'You, the public, have had enough.
“You’re tired of the infighting, you’re tired of the political games and the arcane procedural rows, tired of MPs talking about nothing else but Brexit when you have real concerns about our children’s schools, our National Health Service, knife crime'.

“You want this stage of the Brexit process to be over and done with. I agree. I am on your side. ”

So: 'You’re tired of all the shit that my party and my government have caused eg through years of cuts to the health and police services. It's not my fault that Brexit has been so appallingly badly handled, I'm only the Prime Minister and it's everyone else's fault. So why not just let me have my way and things will all get better? I am a mindreader and presume to know what you want, even though I display zero empathy in my public utterances, and I know you all want Brexit (even though only a small proportion of the electorate actually voted for it, 3 years ago)'.

We’re finished as a country if this is the best we can do, it is just heartbreaking that our country has been brought to this. I cant believe that this woman is in a position of such power and represents our country.

I don't WANT you on my side, just get away from me.

@Frankiestein402 , she could easily have made a worse job by not intervening when she did and leaving it to useless numpties like DD or Raab to continue with their rubbish. We probably wouldn't even have a WA option if those dicks had been left in charge.

The thought of Andrea Leadsome in May's place chills my blood so that's one thing I'm thankful for. Shudder.

May's extension request has been rejected. So hard Brexit on the 29th it is then I guess. What a shitshow.

Tinyteatime · 21/03/2019 12:59

Has it?!

NotNowMrTumnus · 21/03/2019 13:00

Where did you read that it’s been rejected?

areyoubeingserviced · 21/03/2019 13:01

I am not sure that it’s been rejected

Has it?

BertrandRussell · 21/03/2019 13:04

No it hasn’t.

EmrysAtticus · 21/03/2019 13:04

It hasn't been rejected.

MrPan · 21/03/2019 13:05

to 23rd May, to avoid Euro elections.

Though it is possible apparently that the British Euro MPs could legally maintain their positions after May 23rd.

downcasteyes · 21/03/2019 13:07

@lubeybooby There are some flowcharts on the internet you can look at to see the various options we have from here, which are not liited to hard brexit on the 29th (though that is a distinct possibility).

LarkDescending · 21/03/2019 13:09

It hasn’t been rejected, except insofar as they’re saying her chosen date of 30 June isn’t going to be a runner.

Bluntness100 · 21/03/2019 13:13

It's not been rejected and neither is the only other option no deal.

Why do people post this shit?

Alsohuman · 21/03/2019 13:15

Why do people post this shit? Complete lack of comprehension skills?

MrPan · 21/03/2019 13:18

John Humphreys on R4 this morning was very keen to underline it's either Maybot deal or no deal. Must be true.

WaterQuarter · 21/03/2019 13:20

Humphrys' Brexit arse licking has been a disgrace. Delighted he's moving on. Sadly it should have been years ago.

HarryDaylight · 21/03/2019 13:24

I can't sign the petition as it won't send me an email to confirm 🙁

Colourpencils · 21/03/2019 13:25

Keep trying Harry Smile

Alsohuman · 21/03/2019 13:30

Keep going, it’s close to a million signatures now.

Meretricious · 21/03/2019 13:34

It was down for a while
Should be fixed now.

MrPan · 21/03/2019 13:40

Also still waiting for the confirming email. Been about 20 mins now.
